In their first three games, Fulham and Wolves both have home matches that are obviously winnable, but between those two are visits to European qualifying opponents Aston Villa, a likely pumped-up Sheffield United, and the resolute Brentford.
Arsenal will also be a tough opponent, despite the fact that the Toffees defeated them last season.
Wolves (11) (Fixture Difficulty Rating: 62)
Wolves will approach their opening six games with a combination of optimism and pessimism.
There are just two home games, against Brighton and Liverpool, both of whom were in the top six previous season. There are four away games.

Although Bournemouth at home as the second opponent is a foregone conclusion, Klopp will aim for nine points from Aston Villa (home), Wolves (away), and West Ham (home) in their upcoming three contests.
Additionally, we are aware of the Reds' traits once they have some momentum.

Given Brentford's successful home record, it's encouraging that four of their opening six games will be played in front of home supporters.
Palace, Bournemouth, and Everton are not the opponents for Tottenham's inaugural match under Postecoglou.
Tottenham, rated at 66 for fixture difficulty
After Ange Postecoglou's transfer from Celtic, Spurs have had a mixed start in terms of their schedule.
While United are not the soft touch of old, and Arsenal away in their first six matches is another challenging one, Brentford away is set for a home victory because they will take advantage of any vulnerabilities in the defense.
However, Ange might find some quick victories by playing Bournemouth, promoted duo Burnley and Sheffield United within the course of a month.
5. Aston Villa (67 out of 100 for fixing difficulty)
Traveling to Newcastle, Liverpool, and Chelsea present some difficulties for Unai Emery and company.
However, Everton, Burnley, and Palace - the first and last of which were played in between those contests -
